A Certain 11 enredy for a Iliad Cold.
'When persons take what is condi a "bad cold." there
lie generally more or lees inactivity of the liver and aim
- ansch. At the commencement of such an attack, the corn
goon prattle° is to give something to "stop the cough,"
though the cough is often no more than one of the means
which nature uses to loosen and dislodge the morbid mat
ter which is contained in the system. "Cough• inedi
ether," so called, if any were really what they pretend to
be, height eJo harm, if they stopped,the cough without
mooring the obstructions which cause a cough; but all
who have given them a fair trial must have discovered
the
'that -they have notenelicial effect of any kind, and
reason is, that they pass into the stomach without touch- ,
lug the hinge. In some cases, when the cough appears to
be checked, for time, the patient flatters himself that he
is better, but, in the meantime, the real causes of the die-,r
e sae are unabated, the morbid matter accumulates , va-'
eon distressing symptoms follow, and consuruftiutlfis
the result.
These troubles can be prevented, and the "bad,,eold"
may be completely removed. By the course we propose,
the cure will be to perfect that the very ltabilityto take
a freih cold from every trilling change of weather will
be obviated. The remedies which wo conlifently offer
are, one box of Schenck's Mandrake Pills and one bottle
of fithenck's Parlor& Syrup. Ore take a dose of the
pille, (say four of thrn,) and after these operate, take v the
syrup according to e d) rections: then take a pill eery
night, or every other night, ar the state of the patient's
bowels may require for two or three nights.
- The operation of the pith cleanses tho stomach, and
gives the Panonic Syrup an opportunity to relax the mu.
eons membrasie, and to venetrate the whole system. This
course will remove the cough or cold, and leave the stow
ach and liver in such a healthy condition that taking a
fresh cold would be almost impossible; for colds aro mil
der- caught while these organs are in good working order.
Doubtless you have,abaerved that sometimes you may go
about In heavy ra in and east winds, and through snow,
slash, and all kinds of bad weather, without any unpleas
ant consequences; and, at other times, the least exposer a
will bring on as-VerY bad cold. Then, when you find your
self very hallo to catch cold, take it for granted that
there is some derangement of the liver or stomach.

EVENING BULLETIN.
Thursday, April 2, 1868.
CITY Nom [NATIONS.
There is a universal desire among respec
table people in all political parties to effect's
radical reformation in the character of the
nominations and elections to all public of
fices. Under the free institutions of our re-
publican form of government one abuse after
another has crept into the body politic, and
the thirst for the honors and emoluments of
office has gone far to work a demoralization
which now calls loudly for reform.
In this matter the difference between the
great parties of the country is only one of de
gree. The Democratic party, by virtue of its
greater age, and of the large preponderance
of the element of ignorance and vice which it
contains, is more corrupt and more skilful in
turning its corruption' to account than the
younger, better edicated and more intelli
gent Republican party. -But the latter is not
free either from the tendencies or the prac
tices of its antagonist, and it becomes those
who wield influence in its ranks to see to it
that what can be done is done to elevate the
standards of Republicanism, and to prevent
this great party from being corrupted into a
mere machine for the aggrandizement of bad
and designing men.
A convention is now considering a revision
of the rules by which the Republican organi
zation is, governed. The duties of this con
vention have this grave responsibility about
them, that it rests within the power of this
body to introduce important reforms in the
method of effecting the nominations in this
city. The present system is a thoroughly
bad one, and would be improved by almost
any other that could be adopted. The radical
fault lies in the plan of constituting the nomi
nating conventions. This is done by the se
lection of delegates representing each election
precinct throughout the city, in equal num
bers for all precincts- What is the result?
The Fourth Ward, casting in all about
.900 Republican Votes, sends the same
delegation to a City Convention as the
Seventh Ward, which casts 2,500 Republican
votes. It does even more than this, for while
the „Fourth Ward has ten precincts, the
Seventh has but eight, and this disproportion
exists throughout the city. The minority
wards are as powerful to control the nomina
tions as are the majority wards, and what is
work, the delegates who are sent from these
"minority wards," where there are sometimes
not twenty voters in a precinct to choose
from, are often the most venal and corrupt
men in a convention, who elect each other as
delegates, year by year, simply and avowedly
for what they can make out of their votes.
Theeonsequence of this system is that the
great masa of the Republican party of Phila.
delphials not really represented at all in these
conventions, and the men who make it their
business to be elected delegates are too often
those who live upon the lowest sort of politi-
cal trickery, and Bell their votes to the can
didate who will bid most liberally for them.
We are not prepared to say what is the
best remedy for this crying evil. Our pres
ent pnrpose is to point out the disease and
to call upon those who have this important
'duty in charge to use all diligence to
find the proper method of working
a successful reform,—a reform that will give
the whole party a fair representation in
the conventions, and that will tend to givens
such a class of candidates for office as will
command tie respect and support of the com
munity. There is no reason outside of itself
why the Republican party should not rule
this city and this State permanently. And
'there is but one internal danger that threatens
it. It must present its best men for the suf
frages of, the people. It must take up men
because they are honorable, upright, intel
ligent, educated, experienced, patriotic and
thoroughly good citizens. It must agree
to crush out all combinations that will turn it
from this high standard and make it serve the
ignoble purposes of the mean, hungry, un
principled mercenary camp-followers who
hang upon the skirts of all great parties. It
must purify itself and keep itself pure, and it
will not only be impregnable against all the
assaults of its enemies, but it will be in the '
future, what it has been in the past, the very
salvation of a free people.
THE IMPEACHMENT THUM.
A most important point was established
yesterday, in tho trial of Andrew Johnson.
The Senate having conceded to its presiding
officer certain technical prerogatives, in'
recognition - of his official dignity and for the
convenience of the business before it, sus
tained the Managers of the Honse upon an
essential principle which will be found to be
of vital importance. By a vote of 39 to 11,
the Senate drew a broad line of demarcation
between the character of its proceedings and
Ahose of a court of law. Before an ordinary
court the probabilities are that Mr. Stanbery's
objection to the admission of Burleigh's
testimony might have been sustained. But
the powerful line of argument by which
Messrs. Butler and Bingham indicated their
plan of evidence, satisfied the Senate that the
testimony 'was worth having, and it therefore
ordered it to be printed.
This is the true ground for this Court of
Impeachment to occupy. The Senate is its
own master. Its members, sitting in judg
ment upon the President of the United States,
are sworn to do him justice. They are not
bound down by the technicalities and usages
of ordinary courts. They form a body pecu
liar in its organization and in its functions.
They desire to get through, this trial as
speedily as comports with the gravity of the
occasion. The concession to the presiding
officer is a strong expression of confidence in
Mr. Chase personally, and it is not likely that
that distinguished jurist will ever give occasion
for that confidence to be regretted.
The Managers are pressing their case ra
pidly and with consummate ability. If the
powers which Mr. Butler has dAplayed thus
far are to characterize the prosecution to the
end, they will place his name among the most
distinguished of living lawyers. His opening
argument is a wonderful specimen of ex
haustive argumentation, and the cleverness
, and readiness with which he has held his
ground during the last two days has chal
lenged admiration from all sides. The other
members of the Board of Managers constitute
a powerful and every-ready reserve force.
Binghani and Boutwell have already
contributed largely to the argu
ment for the prosecution, while Lopn,
Wilson, Williams and the veteran Stevens
are yet to play important parts in this great
national drama. The Senate has dealt gene
rously toward Chief Justice Chase, and with
excessive lenience and liberality toward
Andrew Johnson. But there is no sign of
Weakness or wavering in the execution of a
high and stern duty, and there will be none.
Every consideration of high public principle
and immediate personal interest points in one
direction, and there can be little doubt that
the present month will complete the trial,
and send Andrew Johnson to his own place.
“THE EVES OF DELAWARWI
Great occasions always bring forth great
men and great sayings of great men that are
worthy of the emergency. Thus Caesar, ex
cept for a little international "unpleasant
ness," would never have been able to perpe
trate his "VC7ti,vldi,vici,"willch has become
so famous. If Perry had been a farmer in
homespun, instead of a Commodore in
epaulets, the world had wanted that other
great example in laconism, "We have met
the enemy and they are ours." If Napoleon
had not been sent off to Egypt by the French
Government with a view to getting rid of
him, we never would have had the confident
assurance given to Frenchmen, that "forty
centuries looked down upon them,'
Then there was Nelson; what an
insignificant figure would he have. cut upon
the stage of the world's history had Napoleon
never lived, and had there been no battle of
the Nile, and consequently no opportunity for
the expression of the opinion that "England
expected every man to do his duty !" Our
own Grant, but for the war of the rebellion,
would probably have kept on tanning sole
leather and selling calf-skins, and "fighting it
out on this line" would never have passed into
history„ss a notable saying.
The great Opeachment trial has been the
opportunity which has enabled a jolly old
fellow named Karsner, a citizen of Delaware,
to perpetrate a rather good thing. Mr. K.
was in Washington about the time that ad
interim Thomas (who also honors Delaware
by having been born there) was
threatening to dispossess Mr. Stanton
of the War office in the most summary man
ner, and making very feeble efforts to make
good his forcible threats. Mr. Karsner met
the ad interim at the White House on a
levee day and assured him that "the eyes of
of Delaware were upon him." Lorenzo the
brave appreciated this fact, but the Dela
warian optical burthen which he was com
pelled to bear, did not suffice to prevent him
from cutting a rather sorry figure before the
world. There was a war office for the stage,
an ad interim to act and Delaware to be
hold the swelling scene. There was nobody
to exclaim "Up bills and bows men of Kent
and Sussex, and at 'em!" But there was a
Karsner to assure him that Delaware had its
eyes upon him. It is a good thing for Dela
ware to have its optics turned toward its rep
resentative men occasionally. The bibulous
Saulsbury would be none the worse
for an occasional watching, al
though the little "Diamond State,"
if she be anything of a prude, would have to
cover her face with her hands and peep
through her lingers upon such occasions as S.
Saulsbury visit, en dediabille, to the break
fast room at Willard's.
Mr. Kanner has profited by his oppor
tunity and gone into history as the author of
a good thing. Had he said, "Lorenzo, Kent
looks to you 'to stand firm; Sussex implores
you not to give up the ship, and New Castle
and Appoquinnimink protest against• any
concession to Stanton;" had he said this, or
anything like it, his utterances would have
fallen dead upon the public ear; but "The
eyes of Delaware are upon you!" There is a
ring about this expression that at once classes
it with the choicest sayings of the Caesars,
Napoleons, Nelsons and Perrys of history,
and Delaware has a right to be proud of her
Karsner, while keeping an eye upon , her
Thomas and her Saulsbury.
New Jersey has just lost one of her most
aged and respected citizens. ' Hon. James
Parker died yesterday morning at Perth
Amboy, aged 92, having been born Much
let, 1776, in Bethlehem township, Hunterdon
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 2 ,1868.
Co.,ivhere his lather had sought a retreat for
his family during the Revolution. He was the
son of James Parker, one of the Provisional
COUncil before the Revolution, and a leading
member of the Board of Proprietors of the
Colony. His mother was the daughter of
the Rev. William Skinner, for over thirty
years the Rector of St. Peter's Church at
Perth Amboy, and father of Cortlandt Skin
ner, the last Attorney-general under
the ' crown. He was graduated at
Columbia College in 1793, and
soon after entered the counting house
of Mr. John Murray, then a leading
merchant of New York, but at the death of
his father, in 1797, he returned to the home
stead of his family at Perth Amboy, where
he spent his long life. He was long an ap
tive politician, siding with the Demoerats till
Van Buren's time, after which he became a
Whig and finally a Republican. He had a
large family. His eldest son, who bore hip
name, died in Cincinnati, in 1861, having
been distinguished in Ohio as a lawyer and a
judge. His second son, William Parker, is
a noted civil engineer, now superintendent of
the Panama and Aspinwall Railroad. Ms
third is Cortlandt.Parker, Esq., well known
as one of the most eminent lawyers of New
Jersey.
Is. bill has been introduced into the State
Legislature, which certainly possesses some
most extraordinary features. It is styled "An
act relative to the time and mode of trial and
evidence in curtain criminal cases," and it
provides, among other things:
"That whenever an indictment for an alleged
crime or misdemeanor shall be found against any
person or persons, who shall at the time of such
indictment be a party or parties of record to a
civil proceeding, at law or in equity, then pend
ing, wherein the person or persons on whose in
formation the said criminal charge was based, or
on whose testimony before the grand jury such
indictment was found, shall also be adverse party
or parties of record, and wherein the same fact or
facts are the subject of litigation as are charged
and alleged in the said indictment, the trial of
such indictment shall, on the petition of the party
or parties accused averring tint pendency of such
civil procetdings and verified by affidavit, be
postponed until the said action or suit shall have
been determined by final judgment or decree;
provided that the person or persons accused, if
under bail, shall give or renew bail for his or their
appearance. from time to time as required, until
the indictment shall have been finally disposed
of."
This bill is certainly a most extraordinary
production. According to its provisions, if
some embryo Arthur Spring or Anton Probst
shall first take the precaution to start a
civil suit with prospective Deerings or future
Lynches, he can ply his knife or his axe with
entire confidence, thai until the sharp dodges
and legal time-killing expedients, so well
known to lawyers engaged in civil suits, are
exhausted, his neck will not be put in peril.
Our imagined contingency may be somewhat
extravagant; but it does not need a lawyer to
discover the evils that would flow from the
enactment of such a bill as this. Instead of
"civil suits run mad," we should have
criminal prosecutions made so very tame that
they would become as mild,as harmless and as
"like a sucking dove," as 'Bully Bottom's"
roaring was while he was in his great ori
ginal character of the lion.
Austria has made another step forward in
the path of liberalism. The Reichsrath has
passed a bill providing for general education
in the Empire by a system of public schools.
A restrictive amendment, the exact nature of
which is not described in the cable telegrams,
was proposed by the clerical party, but it
was defeated. Thus in the space of about a
week the clerical party has suffered two de:-
feats : one on the civil marriage bill and the
Other on the ptiblic school bill. Truly the
people of Austria have reason to rejoice over
the disasters to the . Hapsburg dynasty, since
they have led to such enlarged popular-liber
ties as they have acquired within the past
two years. The loss of the Dalian provinces,
the disaster at Sadowa, and the fall of Maxi
milian have all been mortifying to the im
perial family. But Hungary has acquired a
constitution and a parliament; the Coneerdit
has been annulled, and now education is to
be made general and free. These gains more
than compensate for the dynastic losses, and
they give hope and encouragement to the
friends of popular liberty in every part of the
world.
The Democratic reaction, so much talked
about, is still working the wrong way. Yes
terday the Republicans of Rhode Island car
ried their ticket by an increased majority over
that of last year. Yesterday the New York
World said, if the Radicals should lose only
a few hundred of the majority of last year,
they would hail it with rapture as "another
great Radical victory." But as the Radicals
have gained instead of losing, what will the
World say ? It says nothing in this morn
ing's issue. Rhode Island has done better
for the Radicals than was expected. Now
for Connecticut.
The Girard College case comes up in Select
Council this afternoon. There has been a
delay in acting upon this important Etubject
which has attracted much attention and
excited much comment. We trust that there
will be such decided and manly action in
Councils to-day as will tend to satisfy the
community that that body is not under the
control of the ten Directorkof Girard College,
who have so abused their o'ffiee and brought
discredit upon one of the greatest institutions
of Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—The new tax bill will
not contain any provisions altering the exist
ing rates of tax on tobacco, all reports to the
contrary notwithstanding. Whatever changemay
be made in the present provisions affecting the
article will apply solely to the grade of manu
facture, embracing stems and other refuse, which
will be so framed as to prevent a large class of
frauds which have long been successfully per
petrated. • .
it is believed in official quarters that the Com
mittee of Wass and Means will not, in view of
its action on the whisky tax,recede in any decree
on an article from which twenty-Ave MtlliOrlS of

LAKE ABILANGIII, Abyssinia, March 16, by way
of LONDON, April 1, 1868.—The advance brigade
of the British army, under the personal com
mand of Major-General Napier, arrived at this
point on the march towards Magdala, today.
The difficulties of the expeditionary undertaking
Increase as we proceed. The country is for the
most part barren and inhospitable, and the roads
very bad and difficult to traveL The
natives are hostile to the British.
An Abyssinian chief, who is encamped cethe hi 4h
table land near to the troops refuses to give food
to the army on any terms. This chief dares Gen.
Napier to injure him. He sent a mivaiaoe to
Napier saying that King Theodorus offers him
meeting Another chief, who is friendly, tells
General not to believe this assertion of
the hostile one. No forage can be had for the
cattle. The people say that the bad chiefs have
already ruined the country, and that King Theo-
dorm despoils the territory far and wide. The
desolation is universal. General Napier's head
quarters force is six days' march from the fortress

Prospect of Bloodshed on the Church
Question.-An Appeal to , the People
Necessary.. Smuggling from Florida.
HAVANA, April I.—Our advices from Nassau
are to Monday last, March 80. Serious riots
were anticipated in consequence of the action of
the Legislature in relation to the Church awn
dowment. Their bill was finally , passed by a
majority of five votes, but the Executive
Council vetoed the measure. Thereupon the
Assembly became indignant and sent a re
quest to the Governor praying that he would
dissolve the Legislature and order a new election.
Tbis he refused'to do, as an appeal to the people
would be fatal to government. It is probable
that blood will be shed, as the question has now
become one between creeds, castes and colors.
The Governor having identified himself with the
Church, the liberals have drawn up an address to
the Home Secretary requesting coercion to en
force the will of the Legislature. Several mem
bers of both houses voted for the Church intevort
to save their seats.'
As themis deadlocjc in the government ma
chine,'the Executive must dissolve the Legisla=
tare. The electioneering will be spirited, and the
highest officials assert a determination and readi
ness to shed their blood rather than allow secta
rians to defeat the Church.
There are no nien-of-war at Nassau now,
and
smuggling from Florida is openly winked at.

PMEADELPIIIA. Thursday, April 2. The pressure for
money still continues, and it was with difficulty to-day
that "call loans" on acceptable collaterals could be plkced
at 7 per cent., while the best mercantile paper ranged
from 9tb 10 per cent. The demand is mostly from stock
operators in the "bull" interest many of 'whom have been
badly pinched by the recent stringent condition of the
market. The banks are liberal to the merchants to the
extent of their means, on the principle that regular gains,
as the recompense of regular operations in merchandise,
are vastly preferable to any mere speculation in stocks or
-- mining for -
The business at the Stock Board to-day was small, but
the market wne rather irregular. Government loans were
dull at yesterday's closing rates. State War Loan sold at
Iftlre:'lo2!s,. City Loans were steady at 103 for the nett-,
and 100 for the old Issues.

A cult 1.-1 he gold-market opened at 1386. from which
point there was a steady decline to 1.38%, under a Liver
pool despatch reporting a sharp advance in cotton, as
well as a preseure to Sell coin for cash, In consequence of
the monetary sfringency..The closing transactions prior
to the adjournment f the board wore at 138, , following
which the latest quotation was 1311I4(41885a. The differ
ence between the cash and regular price was at ono time
an eighth per cent., and rates varying from 3.64 to 1-18
per diem and 10q111 clearings per annum were paid for
carrying. The gross amounted to $41,324,C*0, the
gold baler ces to $1,916,791 and the currency balanced to
$2 706.268.
The money market has been considerably mere strin
gent than It was yesterday, and seven per cent. in gold,
was offered freely to first-class houses for call loam on gov
ernment securities, and in many instances a commission
of an eighth and even a cow tor per cent in addition to the
legal rate of interest With paid. The general rate for "turn
ing" railway shares until to-morrow was an eighth but
in not a few cases a quarter per cent, was submitted to.
Applications wesamade for loans up to half-pact three
o'clock, and some houses failed to make their bank
balances good. although they °tiered a commission as well
se interest for money. In ouch canes they hypothecated
securities with their bankers sufficient to make good for
the tune being any cash deficiency. The Sub.Treasurcr
bought reveathirtiee and sold gold to Octet an equal
amount, as usual of late, so that no relief came from this
source. and, as the currency balance in the stub Treasury
last evening was only twelve millloneit is claimed that the
government has no power to mitigate the severity of the
pressure. Unless artificial menus are reeortedto ills fairto
presume that there will be a somewhat better supply of
money next week : but many of the bank officers and pri
vate bank. nu col tend that she retain flow of currency
from the Interior will not begin to be felt here until after
the 101 n of the present month, and that meanwhile there
will be very little abatement of the existing stringency
owing to the limited resources of the banks at this centre.

No Legislative Business in Congress.
THE IMPEACHMENT.
Process of the Trial.
From Washington.
Dboeittl Despatch to the Pbilada. Dvenina Bollotix.l
WAsitruovox,April 2.—No disposition is shown
by either house of Congress to hold business
sessions during the progress of the Impeach
ment trial. The committees do not meet, and
the feeling seems to be more than ever agalnst
going on with general legislation until the re
sult of the proceedings against the President is
known.
There will probably be an attempt in the
House to-day to get action on Mr. Boutwell's
resolution, offered some days since, that during
the impeachment trial no business except mat
ters relating to impeachment shall be transacted.
Many members are desirous of going home, hav
ing already grown tired of sitting on hard chairs
behind the bar of the Senate, with nothing to do,
for six hours a day.
The trial opened to-day with about two dozen
Senators in the chamber. When the House of
Representatives was announced not more than
twenty members entered. The galleries were
not full. There is little change in th• personnel
of spectators, owing to the ticket system.
The same faces appear day after day, many of
the audience being families of Senators and Rep
resentatives. As on yesterday, the chamber and
zallerles slowly filled during the conclusion of
the reading of the journal.
Mr. Drake moved an amendment to the seventh
rule, that votes shall be taken without division,
u lees the ayes and says shall be demanded by
o e-fifth of the members present, or by the pre
si ling officer.
Mr. Drake's motion wag objected to by Hen
dricks, and was therefore laid over for ono day,
under the rules.
Mr. Kanner, the last witness examined yester
day, was re-called-at the -request of the counsel
for the defence, and examined by Mr. Stanbery
at some length, the object of the questions secur
ing to, be to prove by him that he was sent to
Thomas by Stanton with a view to getting ad
mist ions injurious to the President.
Nothing new was elicited, however,
Mr. Ferry, of Michigan, was next called and
examined in relation to the interview 'already
spoken of by Messrs. Van Horn and Moor-'
bead. He gave a similar account of
the conversation between Stanton and
Thomas at that time, reading from
his written memoranda. Nothing not before
published appeared from the statement of Mr.
Ferry. Owing to, the day being very cloudy, the
Senate Chamber was so dark that the gas had to
be lighted. High wind, almost amounting to a
hurricane,
prevail s. General Emory, commanding the Department
of Washington, was next examined. His testi
mony was the same he had before given before
the Committee, and which has already been pub
lished, relating mainly as to the number
and location of troops stationed in
the Department, and to the changes which
had been made in the garrison of Washington.
Much interest was shown in that part of General
Emory's evidence which related to a conversation
with the President about the law published in the
general orders requiring all orders to the army
to go through the General-in-Chief, and the re
mark of the President that such an order was in
conflict with the Constitution and the commie
sion under which he (Gen. Emory) held his com
mand.
Gen. Emory'ti tesdwony was given in a sol
dierly, straightforward manner.
Mr. Stanbery subjected him to a long country
court kind of cross-examination, any sufficient
object for which failed to appear.
General Emory's commission and the orders
assigning him to duty in command of the De
partment of Washington, were then offered and
read, as also the order by which General Thomas
assumed his duties as Adjutant-General, and the
original letter of General Grant, requesting the
President to put his orders to disregard orders
from Secretary Stanton as Secretary of War in
writing.
From Washington.
WA , lfinfTenv, April 2.—Some days ago Samuel
Strong was arrested here, at the instance of the
Governor of Virginia, of the charge of having
obtained signatures to writings under false pre
tuxes, with intent to dehaud; Having been
brought before Judge Fisher, he was discharged
ou the ground that Virginia was not a State in
the Union, and, therefore, Gov. Peirpoint's re
quisition could not be recognized.
Subsequently General Schofield, commanding
the First Military District of Virginia, addressed
a requisition to Chief Justice Cartter, of the Su
preme Court of the District of Columbia, requir
ing., in pursuance of the provisions of the Con
stitution and the laws of the United States, that
Strong be apprehended and delivered to an au
thorized agent, to be conveyed to the First Mili
tary District, to be dealt with according to law.
The argument in the case having been heard,
the District-Attorney said to-day that ho desired
to have an expression of opinion as to the power
of the executive in the State of Virginia, either
civil or military. The principal question was
whether the affidavit was neccssary,and properly
held to be one in addition to the indictment.
The counsel for Strong said it was important
to know in an authoritative way whether the re
quisition was proper after the party was dis
charged on a diffcrent process. Counsel did'not re-
Card this military requisition within the law of
ongress.
_ .
The District-Attorney thought there should be
a thorough investigation of the case. The point
was whether Strong should be surrendered on
the requisition.
Judge Cartter said this was a very important
question, not particularly as to the matter before
him, but as a matter of principle. The District
Attorney thought the requisttion was clearly
within the law.
Judge Cartter said the pnint whether a mere
demand entitles the surrender of a fugitive. had
never been fairly made. The decisions more or
less bad been Influenced by political considera
tions. He desired time until to-morrow to look
furthefinto the question.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—Mr.Wllson then offered
the original letter from the President to General
Grant about his conduct in surrendering the War
Office to Mr. Stanton, and the understanding in
relation to that matter which the President avers
existed between himself and Gen. Grant.
The President's counsel at once put their heads
together, as if they considered this something
important.
Mr. SMnbery asked what the Managers ex
pected by this arrangement of the correspondence
and whether the rest of the same correspondence
would be introduced:
Mr. Wilson replied that the Managers had no
present intention to put In evidence any other
portion of this correspondence;that it was intend
to prove by it that the President meant, at all
hazards, to keep Mr. Stanton out of the War
Office, in violation of the Tenure of Office act.

Mr. Drake (Mo.) immediately after the reading of th
journal was concluded, rose, and said:
Mr. Proramt: I send to the' Chair, and ask for the
adoption of an amendment to the rules.
The Secretary read the amendment, as folio ws:
To emend rule 7 by ordering the following: "Upon all
such questions the votes shall be without a deeDion unless
the yeas and nays ho demanded by one-fifth of the mem
bers present, or required by the presiding otlicer,when the
